[quote][i]Originally posted by szedlisa[/i] [br]"The question is, did carrier status occur as the result of a mutation in descendants of the horse OR did it come before X and X was a carrier as well.

The Swiss worked out a trail back to Rymnik as stated in their published research. And further studies have picked up a Syrian Stallion imported in 1845 which appears in the backgound of ALL their horses studied. There are theories that the horse plagues in the Middle East and Egypt which occurred at that time could have caused a genetic mutation in the surviving animals. This is just a theory though. Genetic mutations are known to occur with or without visible cause. CA has been present, even if not expressed often, for a long, long time. It is felt that the ever diminishing genetic pool has allowed the more frequent expression in present day breeding. [/quote]

Just wanted to share these links to remind everyone about CA and the importance of testing. They show the most beautiful little colt who unfortunately is no longer with us. Hopefully these videos will help show how important it is to be aware of CA and test. He really had the most beautiful head and such a profoundly deep and sad look in his eye. Even in his short life he was special.

I find this thread very interesting as I owned an endurance horse who would suddenly lose co-ordination and fall down. He would also go disunited in canter. The episodes were very brief and he would immediately spring to his feet. I had him looked at by Sue Dyson at the Animal Health Trust but her findings were inconclusive. Watching him suddenly collapse while being lunged made up my mind for me never to ride him again. He eventually broke a leg in the field and was put down.

For any of you who have been concerned about the validity of the CA Marker Scanning test please go to the CA WEBsite for the latest NEWS!
The Causative Mutation has been identified at UC Davis �s VGL lab.
This is really exciting news and soon there will be more to come!
Posted - 02 Dec 2010 : 11:29:32 PM
Thanks, Lisa. I assumed that it was just a random thing as I have occasionally seen my new foals get up back end first and never thought any more about it and, as you say, the birth is down to mum.
Posted - 02 Dec 2010 : 02:46:37 AM
As we all know too well, new born foals have a pretty wobbly time of it when trying to get to their feet. I have seen perfectly normal foals use their muzzle to support themselves as they try to stand.
A CA Affected foal is going to have a difficult time trying not to run into things once it is on its legs. The most noticable clinical sign of CA is the head tremors.
As for the protracted birth , that is more of a problem of the mare�s, not the foal�s condition. The mare is the one trying to push the foal out. The foal is just going along with the whole proceedure.
Posted - 01 Dec 2010 : 10:07:14 PM
I have just been rereading this thread and I noticed that an affected foal had "a protracted birth and took a long time to stand. it also stood at the back end first rather than at the front". Is this usual in CA affected foals and is standing with the rear end first indicative of CA in the newborn as I understood from the literature that CA foals were normal for weeks/months after birth and only developed symptoms as the purkinge cells died off rather than developed?

The latest statistics are in
This week we received the latest statistics from UC Davis. Nothing changed much from the previous information, which means that the carrier percentage remains the same, just under 20%.
Disclosures of carriers and clears on the CA website also stayed steady at ~ 12% and 86% respectively. These numbers vary strongly from those of UC Davis, but logically owners are swifter to disclose a clear rather than a carrier.
For the complete overview go to the statistics page.

I am delighted to see that the AUSTRALIAN REGISTRY IS LEADING THE WAY IN ARABIAN HORSE GENETIC DISEASES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The above is based on the September Bulletin of the AHSA:
1st January 2011 is the cut off date.
- No imported breeding stock will be allowed to be registered unless DNA results of tests for SCID, CA and LFS are presented to the AHSA.
- No imported semen will be allowed for use unless AHSA has receipt of DNA tests for SCID, CA and LFS.
- The Board is also actively investigating the testing of ALL nominated stallions for SCID, CA, LFS and GPA (as tests become available) with the intention of publishing the results on the online Stud Book.
The CA WEB has this information also on the Latest News Page:
Posted - 18 Apr 2010 : 04:02:05 AM
Now on the heels of the Swiss Registry accepting compulsorary testing for CA , we
have Saturday�s results in on:
VZAP (German Arabian Registry)
German to English translation
Results of the Annual General Meeting:
All breeding horses, whether new or old, mare or stallion must be tested.
Breeding animals that are re-recorded must be tested immediately, the "old" have a transitional measure until 31.12.2011.
There were no abstentions - so there were all members present 100% for the tests.
The already made tests are accepted in full.
Hopefully this will give other registries an incentive to do the same.!
Posted - 09 Apr 2010 : 3:42:30 PM
I have heard from Dr, Penedo and LABOKLIN (UK) is also working in conjuction with UC Davis to do the CA testing. Same link as above and use their contact email to get more information.

There have been some changes at the CA website
Due to the amount of entries and space available on even this excellent band width, the CA Status List has been redesigned into two sections:
MAIN LIST with all entries posted in the order received: Horse Name + Identification + Status
CARRIER /AFFECTED LIST in alphabetical order with Horse Name + Identification + Status.
SEARCH OPTIONS remain the same on both pages:
- Use search box provided at top of each page for a page search.
- Right click on entry without number and do a Google Search. This usually brings up website / farm name / owner or breeder info.
Please note the following important additions:
Only owners of horses have the option to submit and publish two default CA derivatives under their own responsibility:
- "CA: Clear by parentage" - for a foal of which both parents are tested CA N/N CLEAR
- "CA: CARRIER by default (I)" - for a parent of a CA: CA/CA AFFECTED foal
- "CA: CARRIER by default (II)" - for a parent of a CA: N/CA CARRIER foal of which the other parent is CA: N/N CLEAR
The CA Marker Scanning Test was officially launched in September 2008. Horses tested by this method and those horses clinically diagnosed with a necropsy prior to this date are designated by the symbols N/N Clear, N/CA CARRIER or CA/CA AFFECTED where applicable. Horses which were vet diagnosed based on clinical signs but not clinically diagnosed with a post mortum microscopic study (Histopathic) are termed simply AFFECTED.
Thank you,

Good to see, Pinto
If the CA site is going to be a complete database there will be quite a few people Worldwide affected by the difficulties in posting colours so I guess they will want to change that.
Given that he is chestnut, even I managed to navigate the site to post that Marcus Aurelius is CA in addition to SCID clear

I have emailed Trina our webmaster and my sincerst apologies for the mistake. As part of the CA website team , as stated on the Public List:
Owners or agents of the following horses have disclosed their results publicly on websites, public forums, equine journals or given permission privately. Any information unintentionally or otherwise wrongly posted will be removed with-in 48 hours upon request of owner or authorized agent.
Our team consists of myself , Trina the webmaster (and owner of an affected foal) and Gideon who most generously donated the website domain for us. Trina is on the far side of the US so the time difference sometimes is a handicap but I assure you she will correct it as soon as possible.
Again my sincerest apologies for the mistake of typying SCID clear instead of a SCID carrier
Posted - 03 Feb 2010 : 9:50:20 PM
Just a little request:
Yesterday (2/2/09) I posted our first 4 results on one of the CA threads, before submitting them to the CA website.
Today I checked the international list. Someone had posted our results there before my own submission (described as "on arabianlines.com" in the header - which means how the information was gathered).
Now that's not a problem, except that the person who posted the results got them wrong.
One of the boys is a SCID carrier, incorrectly copied by whoever as clear - see my postings on the CA threads. I would hate anyone to think we were trying to cover up a carrier status, and I hope that I have corrected the error (resubmitted to the CA site and I hope they won't just look at it and say: "weve already got him...")
I suggest that people don't rush in to submit other peoples' results. We don't need an assumption that the owners will try to deceive us: that's paranoia. If you do submit under a sort of freedom of information flag, GET IT RIGHT.

This morning we received the first 4 results. The original set of samples didn't arrive in Holland, hence the forever wait...
UC Davis emailed on Thursday that they had received the samples, and the results arrived at 0200 GMT Tuesday (or about 1800 local time on Monday in California. That's faster than their most optimistic published turnround of 5 working days.

Yes, Lisa, I'm now of the opinion that I haven't wasted the fee for the tests I have submitted. I'm also waiting for replies from UC Davis which may convince me to start the testing of the other 15 as well.
I note that the VH site is still carrying the same doubt-producing information about the test, and their terms and conditions section 7 gives them the usual walk-away from the consequences if the test had turned out to be based on wishful thinking.
I make no apologies for asking the questions and raising my doubts. The resistance I have encountered in bringing other dog breeders on board as far as genetic testing is concerned has taught me that people need the clearest explanation available.
Once I am completely happy with the reliability of the testing, we will make the same offer to other breeders as we already do with the dogs: as well as offering clear stallions to carrier mare owners, we will also offer carrier stallion owners the opportunity to bring their stallions here to our clear mares to rescue their lines. (Note the optimistic assumption here!)

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' Offers Two New TV Spots
'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' is only two weeks away from release, and we're about to get word on the film. The movie screened today in New York and Los Angeles, and the review embargo for lifts Monday, December 3, at midnight EST. We'll have a review for you then, but until that time here's two new TV spots for the movie.
We're curious to see how this film does because - though obviously it's reported on frequently - the return to the shire doesn't seem to inspire the same sort of passionate (and possibly a little crazy) devotion that we've seen from other fanbases when it comes to new material. But maybe we're not looking in the right places as we're sure the film will be a hit.
Here's the synopsis, if you weren't aware:
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" follows title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever… Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.
And here are those two TV spots.

The night after Whitney Houston died, her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown could not bring herself to sleep in her mother's Atlanta mansion.
That all changed the next morning.
"I woke up and I heard her say, 'All right, come home now,' " Brown toldOprah Winfrey in a TV special Sunday night. "And when I came back home, I felt humble, I felt okay."
The singer's only child, 19, says she's now comforted by the spirit of her mother, who died last month at age 48.
"I can hear her voice in spirit talking to me, 'Keep talking to me. I got you,' " says Brown. "She's always with me. I can always feel her. I can always feel her with me. She always asked me,'Do you need me?' And I caught myself, out of nowhere, I didn't even know I said it, I said, 'I'll always need you.' "
Brown – Houston's child with her ex-husband Bobby Brown – says she spent her mother's last day alive in her embrace.
"It was so early in the morning. I went to go get her and I said, 'Come lay with me,' " she says. "She stayed with me all night and all day. She was just rubbing my head and holding me. I just slept in her arms."
Houston, whose cause of death has not yet been officially determined, was found unresponsive in water in a bathtub in her suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 11 and later pronounced dead.
"I have to carry on the legacy," says Bobbi Kristina. "We're going to do the singing thing. Some acting, some dancing."

BYEE Program now in its 7th year in Indonesia
If you are an Indonesian citizen, between 18 to 24 years old, single, and presently enrolled in a college/university, and with a passion for the environment, take up the challenge to become a Bayer Young Environmental Envoy!
Deserving students from all over Indonesia will be selected to be Bayer Young Environmental Envoys (BYEE) and will participate in a live-in Eco-camp that is held in a local venue. The top four envoys will join youth delegates from 18 other countries around the world on a weeklong all-expense paid trip to Germany on November 7 - 12, 2010. It will be an opportunity to gain new insights on the broad spectrum of environmental protection measures employed by industry, municipalities, and the state environmental authorities in Germany.
Who is eligible
* Indonesian citizen, College/University student enrolled in any institution as of April 1, 2010 (students graduating in April 2010 are eligible to join)
* 18 to 24 years old by September 1, 2010
* Actively involved in environmental activities or projects
* Willing to travel overseas
* Should be able to work well within a group
* Good oral and written English communications skills
Children and relatives up to the second degree of consanguinity, or persons, whether they are related or not, living with any of the following are not eligible to join the contest:
* Employees of Bayer, their agencies or independent contractors engaged in the project
* Individuals or companies engaged in the development, production, or distribution of materials for the project
How to join
Financial crises and economic downturns spell tough times for the environment. Safeguarding the planet at a time of economic recession is often seen as a luxury, and at times, a burden on economic recovery and development. On the other hand, reality has shown that the Earth itself is what ultimately controls economic activity because it is the source of the materials upon which economic activity works.
Write your individual proposal, therefore, for a simple environmental project in your community or school which demonstrates that environmental protection and economic growth can go hand in hand.
* In no more than 100 words, describe the current situation and environment related problems in your local area or school.

OCEAN CITY – Prompted in
part by the ongoing oil spill catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico and its
potential devastating effects on the species' spawning grounds, a national environmental
group this week filed a formal petition seeking Endangered Species Act
protections for Atlantic bluefin tuna, a staple of the resort area's vast
recreational fishery.
The Center for
Biological Diversity (CBD) on Monday filed a formal scientific petition to
protect Atlantic bluefin tuna under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The
petition urges federal fisheries management agencies to list bluefin tuna as
endangered or threatened under the auspices of the ESA. The same group tried
unsuccessfully in 2007 to have the white marlin listed as endangered or
According to the
petition, the catalyst for the listing now is the ongoing crisis associated
with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but really, the petition for an ESA
listing for bluefin tuna as endangered or threatened has its roots in the
perceived decades-long over-fishing of the species by the recreational and
commercial sectors, both in the U.S. and internationally. According to the
petition, over-fishing has erased more than 80 percent of the bluefin tuna in
the north Atlantic in the last few decades compared to what the population
would be without fishing pressures.
According to the
petition, there are two imperiled populations of Atlantic bluefin tuna, one of
which spawns in the Mediterranean and the other of which spawns only in the
Gulf of Mexico. The petition seeks an endangered status for both populations,
which the CBD believes have collapsed due to over-fishing despite attempts to
set annual quotas for bluefin tuna.
According to Catherine
Kilduff, CBD oceans attorney and author of the ESA petition, an endangered
listing for bluefin tuna could benefit other species imperiled by the ongoing
oil spill disaster in the gulf.
"An endangered status
for bluefin tuna could mean enhanced protections for all fish and wildlife in
the Gulf," Kilduff said this week. "Oil rigs are scattered throughout essential
breeding habitat for bluefin tuna and protections could force reforms of the
Interior Department's lax environmental oversight of the oil industry by
limiting drilling to avoid adverse effects on fish and their habitat."
While the petition to
list bluefin tuna and endangered or threatened at this time may be directly
related to the Gulf disaster, environmental groups have long sought protections
through a national and international regulatory process for the highly coveted
species. However, there has been little mutual cooperation between the nations
that target bluefin tuna. To that end, the CBD is hoping the Gulf oil disaster
might be the catalyst for change.
"Bluefin tuna encounter
thousands of deadly hooks while migrating across the Atlantic and now an oil
spill will welcome home the survivors," said Kilduff. "Bluefin tuna need the
protection of the Endangered Species Act, which can provide an important safety
net before bluefin tuna disappear entirely from the ocean."
News of the petition for
an ESA listing for bluefin tuna trickled out slowly to the recreational fishing
sector in Ocean City, where the species is an integral part of the offshore
sportfishing industry, but already the proposal has raised serious concerns
"While I have not read
the proposal, I am pretty well versed in the problem with bluefin tuna," said
Ocean City Marlin Club president and charter captain Franky Pettolina. "An ESA
listing would be yet another nail in the coffin of recreational fishing, both
charter and private."
Pettolina said while he
understands the CBD's concerns about the dwindling bluefin population in the
north Atlantic, he believes the petition to list the species under the ESA
might be a knee-jerk reaction to the ongoing oil spill crisis. He raised
concern the ESA petition could be a blanket approach to a localized problem.
"The ESA listing is very
far reaching and could cause area closures that would cripple recreational
fishing in our area," he said. "While I suspect the Center for Biological
Diversity has a noble intention, their efforts would be better spent seeking
closure on the Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishery and look to solve the problem
on a global level rather than attacking the U.S. recreational fishery."
The timetable for a
potential ESA listing for bluefin tuna or any species is a lengthy one and a
final determination could take months or even years. The National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) will review the petition and initiate a status review within 90
days if it determines the request has merit.
Meanwhile, Center for
Biological Diversity officials have called for an expedited review of the
petition for an ESA listing for bluefin tuna.
"Based on the best
available scientific and commercial data, Atlantic bluefin tuna are rapidly
heading toward extinction," the petition reads. "The petitioners strongly urge
NMFS and the Secretary to take action to protect the Atlantic bluefin tuna now
before it is too late."

Thain's bane? Minor hit with harassment order
Halsey Minor says he was merely trying to warn Bank of America that it was getting a bad deal when it agreed to buy troubled investment bank Merrill Lynch, the firm that's now audaciously demanding that Minor return the $24 million or so that he borrowed. But in the spiral of litigation that followed that warning, he's now been hit with a court order that would prevent him from harassing parties to the litigation and those who would try to collect on his allegedly in-default personal loan.
The Hook says it's allegedly in-default because, Minor assures us, we may be next in line for a lawsuit after having, for a few hours at least, once portrayed another of Minor's loans–- for the trouble-plagued Landmark Hotel –-as "in default." Minor, naturally, contests the bank's portrayal of the situation and alleges that Silverton bank and the developer, Lee Danielson, both of whom he has sued, are the bad guys.
Pointing out bad guys, he says, is all he was trying to do last winter by warning Bank of America about the ways of Merrill's boss.
"You have no idea what John Thain has done," Minor warned BoA CEO Ken Lewis back in a December 30 email– weeks before the public realized that Thain was trying to sprinkle billions in bonuses on Merrill executives and that the taxpayers would be asked to pony up another $20 million to cover Merrill's toxic assets.
"It was sent before the closing," says Minor of his email to Lewis. "I look like a frigging clairvoyant."
Indeed, Minor is far from alone in alleging that the Charlotte-based BoA erred by buying Thain's money-losing Merrill. Things got worse in the New Year when Thain's bonus sprinkling became the topic of widespread outrage. And as a major new story in the Atlantic points out, the federal government strong-armed BoA into finishing the deal.
So, in denouncing Thain's company, Minor wasn't alone. But at the end of the court order, he is.
"Defendant Halsey McLean Minor is directed not to threaten, harass, or intimidate" anyone trying to collect the $24 million he borrowed from Merrill, reads the August 10 order signed by Judge Sidney H. Stein.
"It must be a pattern of harassment," concludes legal analyst David Heilberg.
Not so, says Minor, insisting that he merely sent a couple of emails to BoA big-wigs and also called his broker a "f–-ing a–h–-." The broker incited the mercurial Minor by allegedly verbally confirming that Minor had extra time to pay back the millions and then later caving to bank pressure by signing an affidavit saying otherwise.
"I felt totally betrayed and royally pissed," says Minor, urging a reporter to contact the broker for confirmation. The broker, Peter Arbogast, did not return phone calls by post time.
In his countersuit, Minor builds his case on that allegation that he arranged an oral modification of the loan's payback terms. But in a late-May motion for summary judgment, Merrill blasts the very idea–- and even slams Minor's argument for reading "like an answer to a law school exam, where the writer is asked to come up with a theory using every known defense in contract law." (The writer, Minor's New York attorney Lee Weiss, did not return a phone message.)
With Minor facing and waging litigation and/or liens on numerous fronts– from contractors, from auction houses, from Merrill, and from Danielson– it can be hard to understand whether he's a profligate bully or a Cassandra-like sage. In the case of Merrill, which appears to be costing taxpayers well over $100 billion, some might see a little of both.
"John Thain is killing your firm as I told you," he emailed BoA bossman Lewis again in early January. "As a result of John Thain, you guys are going [to] owe me a ton of money after suing me over his issues."
Since then, it's been shown that Thain's bonuses were pre-approved by BoA. Meanwhile, legal analyst Heilberg, is struck by the rarity of such a restraining order.
"That's so unusual," says Heilberg. "I can't imagine someone running to court because someone called them a name once. If that's all it took to get a restraining order, nobody would ever be able to get a divorce."

Come on people, take a look at the photo. Our Mayor Dave looked skeptical from the get go. One wonders why Mayor Dave didn't warn the rest of us about "Halsey Minor's huge failed erection"!
Can we get back on topic? Apparently, he borrowed 24 million against an account he had with Merrill Lynch. The money in the account(the collateral)has been moved or has gone up in smoke like so many investments in the past couple years. Merrill would like their money back, according to the terms agreed to by both parties. He hasn't paid Merrill. Merrill sues Minor.
I find it hard to believe he thought an oral agreement could change the terms of the loan. Did he send a letter to Merrill confirming those changes? I would have. Courts really seem to like contemporaneous details like that.
Isn't it amazing that everyone this guy comes in contact with is a swindler, incompetent, or a "f------ a--h---"? Poor Halsey. It couldn't possibly be him.
I am just wondering. How do you two know that Minor and Thain do not contribute heavily to charity? What the hell does Kenya have to do with this story and who are you to tell someone else how to manage their affairs? If you are so concerned about Kenya take something from your own families before asking someone else to support your cause(s).
"Concern for poor people is a character flaw." No, handing out pennies every year to people of color and giving out American grown crops every few years are signs of character flaws. Why not use those pennies to build a couple of desalinazation plants so that the Kenyans can have water inspite of drought? And why not open American markets to Kenyan farmers? I am always amazed when people start telling other people how to spend their money. What charity does any of you contribute to and how far do you think that $25 will go?
I'm not surprised with the judge's actions. If he aligns himself with those in favor (BoA) he can go a long way. It doesn't take much to be on the inside and get billions and it doesn't take much to be on the outside and lose millions.
Why does it matter that the people are "of color" or not? They are starving to death and you make note of the color of their skin? Why is that?
quote: "...blogging against democrats..."
You have to admit, they certainly present themselves as the easiest target. Everybody in the country is cutting back, reducing budgets, laying off employees, etc... everybody except the City of Charlottesville of course. They they have an endless stream of money and write as many checks as they want for as much as they want, as often as they want! Just wait until they try to write a check and revive the stalled construction of the hotel on the new brick. I hope that's when you will finally see an actual revolt take place by city taxpayers. But probably not... most city residents are spineless. This is why the Democrats get by with as much as they do.
GSOE, I don't see many county residents demanding that before their water and sewer rates skyrocket that their elected officials find out what the Nature Conservancy Water Plan, that they all profess to support, will cost their ratepayers. Apparently their attitude is build it at any cost to quote Mr.Martin " this is going to be painful" but the BoS doesn't seem to care. Why aren't county conservatives and tax hawks up in arms? At least after much prodding and outcry by City Residents the CC is demanding accurate costs and a study of dredging which could possibly save tens of millions of dollars for City and County residents according to Mayor Norris
@just wondering.... When was the last time you heard people suggesting giving free stuff ot Breat Britain, European Union, Australia, Sweden, etc.?
Cville Eye, we are so lucky to have a citizen with the knowledge, intelligence, and motivation to hold the officials feet to the fire.
I agree, many Democrats I speak to are upset with the cavalier manner Council is spending money and the continual misdirection coming from the City Manager's office and Community Development Dept. Council needs someone willing to make some serious changes in who is managing the City if we want to see the interests of City residents upheld and not run over by the County. I have heard in negotiations with the County the City is the weak sister.
If we had more citizens speaking out as you have we would have a better chance of government that does act in the public interest.
Discussion: There are several projects that have been budgeted for some time in the
Capital Improvements Program that are related to the Mall and Downtown that are ready to
start but do not have enough funding to be completed. We would like to use a portion of
the remaining mall project dollars to complete these projects. They are as follows:
Ã?Æ? 2nd
Street, East ââ?¬â?? This is the project to complete the street adjacent to the Hotel. We
had been working with the developer to get them to do a good portion of the work
and due to the circumstances of the hotel that work is not being completed.
However, we cannot leave this street in the condition that it is in and continue to
impact the businesses in the way that they are currently impacted. Barton Malow has
prepared estimates and is ready to begin the work to complete this section of the
street between the Mall and Water Street. Estimates are approximately $800,000 due
to all the work including utility work that must be done. We have a commitment and
a bond from the developer to fund $200,000 of the project, but that money will not
be available until either the completion of the Hotel or June of 2014. There is
currently in the budget $208,000 for this project. We need to move $600,000 to complete the 2nd
Street work."
From the background material of the July 20, 2009 Council Agenda. I don't know either. Too bad you're not on Council. You could have brought this up when the behind-closed-door discussions were going on. These are the kinds things our city doesn't do a good job with. It seems the tax payer will be picking up the tab for undergrounding utilities, etc. I guess the glamour of the new hotel sent Council back to homeless issues out of feeling guilty that some people may be occupying lush hotel rooms while others are sleeping on the streets. Of course, after every public-private partnership, city staff always says "We've learned a lot and we have a library on the premises that deals precisely with business deals of this kind, so the next project will be better for the tax payer."
Now the city has some tangled deal with RWSA over running sewer lines through McIntire Park.
Cville eye
As I understand it, it's 2 different things. The Merrill Lynch thing is an alleged default on a loan collateralized by a personal Merrill account.
The Silverton loan was a construction loan set up, apparently by Lee Danielson in his role as erstwhile developer of the hotel, to pay for the erection(I had to fit that in - that's what she said) of the hotel.
It may well be the case, but Danielson said that Silverton was making the installments when it wasn't, so I wonder what was Danielson's connection with Silverton.
Get a hobby besides blogging against democrats CE. Seriously go outside and enjoy the clean air. It will be good for you.
Sorry - last time I'll comment on this. The Merrill thing has nothing to do with the hotel. And I very well could be wrong, but I've heard nothing about fraudulent(that would be criminal, no?)allegations of payments that were in fact never made. I gather(again, I could be wrong) that Danielson had used a subsidiary of Silverton in the past(I can't remember the name, Specialty Something?), so it's not a great surprise that he would go back to a financing company that he had a successful relationship with previously.
After rereading that paragraph, it sounds like I'm letting Danielson off the hook - I'm not. There's plenty of blame to go around.
The real, still unreported scandal is why the city apparently didn't require a completion bond for a project of this size and importance. Absolutely unbelievable.
This "news" story has nothing to do with the Landmark Hotel. The hook has a hard on for Halsey. I kinda hope he does sue your ass because this story is crap.
Did anyone notice the NYT's story today about all the children dying in Kenya because of a multi year drought and totally clueless government response ? I wish all these rich guys would take a look around and start serving the world instead of suing each other.
NANCY!!! Are you some sort of *GASP* SOCIALIST?!?!
Life is about maximizing pleasure for yourself and your immediate family. Concern for poor people is a character flaw.
Halsey Minor and John Thain, despite any of their problems, are to be admired because they have MONEY. Haven't you learned that yet?
meant Samuel Miller candidates on WINA Rob Schilling show.
Yes, Digressor!! You go, girl!! To heck with the poor, starving and weak. Everyone for themselves, get as much as you can and let God sort 'em out!
Halsey Minor has shown himself to be a charitable soul! All those lawsuits are supporting the legal profession, helping the economy and eventually that money will "trickle down" to Kenya.
"Yes, Digressor!! You go, girl!! To heck with the poor, starving and weak. Everyone for themselves, get as much as you can and let God sort ââ?¬Ë?em out!"
Well said. Quit trolling.
Minor's half cooked hotel on the Mall appears dangerous to me. There are flapping pieces of metal hanging over the side street and God forbid a hurricane appears. Seems that plywood would fly like frisbies over the downtown!
I thought Halsey borrowed his money from Silverton Bank of Atlanta, now defunct, and that Bank of America bought Merrill Lynch and all of its assetss good or bad. The question is why would a judge intervene between two parties of a lawsuit when the matter may well go into to mediation anyway? Something smells here and it isn't a Halsey.
Cville Eye, apparently you are ignorant of the Marshall Plan? You could probably educate yourself with Wikipedia about this massive aid program. Once you do educate yourself, perhaps then you will have earned the right to consider yourself knowledgeable.
Despite your ignorance of history, your noting of the skin color of these particular people in need of assistance is puzzling and you still have not explained it.
And perhaps you could explain what your point is? I've shown where the US provided massive assistance to the countries you mention, perhaps now you should explain what you are driving at by pointing out that the suffering people are "of color" and erroneously suggesting that western countries have not rec'd US aid.
I have to agree with Betty Mooney when she says that some members of Council are doing a much better job, a job that I haven't seen since David Toscano was on Council. I hesitate to include Kevin Lynch because I don't recall his questioning city expenditures until at the end of his second term. Lynch has since then done a remarkable job of questioning city vs. county interests since then. I think he has also learned some humility as a public servant and would be glad to support him for a third term.
@JustLookingforJustice, what did I say that wasn't true? I'm not asking what did I say that you don't want to hear. I must have struck a nerve. Golly, gee. Why would I blog about republicans since they affect nothing in local politics? Besides, I've been outside several times today talking to my democratic neighborhs who complain to me about city council's actions every two weeks. I wouldn't be able to complain about democrats if they weren't playing party politics and just simply looked out for the locals. Maybe if they didn't spend so much money without thinking any better than they do thereby creating so many problems down the road. Maybe if they hadn't started deciding what it is they want to do (like redesign McIntire Park) then setting up some kind of committe of "stakeholders" to tell them how to do it? Maybe you'd like to explain to me why the democratic parks committee is pulling the softball team trick all over again by entertaining the botanical garden people and telling the golfers to wait until some kind of process is set up before listening to them? If I go outside I have to listen to that from my "dyed in the wool" democratic neighbor. Hmmmmmm? I will continue to complain about bad government, I don't care who's providing it. BTW, what have you contributed lately, that is locally?
GSOE, I don't think after observing City Council meetings for the last 2 years one could call city residents "spineless". Both the water issue and McIntire Park have generated a huge outpouring of public sentiment to get Council to reconsider the water plan created by the Nature Conservancy, and falling apart for lack of any accurate supporting costs or data, and the decision to build a road through the park and a Y in the park.
It is interesting to me after listening to the candidates seeking to replace Sally Thomas in the Samuel Miller District,on WINA (Coy Barefoot show), that not one county resident called in to complain about the candidates support for a water plan with no known costs, dependent on a pipeline with no known route, and the potential to have a significant financial burden on all county residents that pay water and sewer bills.
GSOE how do you explain the lack of public concern by county residents on this issue ?
I am waiting for a "revolt" by county residents similar to what we have seem in the city
If you need evidence of the activism of city residents on this issue please visit our web-site Cvillewater.info and read this article documenting the involvement of 6 neighborhood associations.
I have yet to see neighborhoods in the county become involved as a group to support a change of direction on any issue before the BOS, but feel the huge financial and environmental implications of all new water infrastructure ( dam and pipeline), without any known costs, warrants such action --could you start a group in the county --possible name
"Affordable Water "
We NEED Danielson to come back to Charlottesville, rejoin Farmington and make everything all right just like he did with Collin Rolhf. Hold on. Wait a minute. That ended in lawsuits, still empty buildings, bankrupt businesses and subcontractors and Danielson scorching as much earth as one hard drinking man can do.
It does not take a lot of research (you listening theHook) to figure out that the Merrill Loan collateral is still in place. What these ignorant journalists read but didn't tell you in the suit is that Merrill swept Mr Minors account and put a $999,999,999.99 hold on his account several days before ML sold themselves to BofA and 3 MONTHS BEFORE HIS LOAN WAS DUE.
I would love to know more about the the Hook's legal analyst David Heilberg. He came from CNN right? Exactly what year did he flunk out of law school and take the prestigious position of Legal Analyst for the Hook. He must be stoked.
Basically, everyone in Charlottesville who isn't an a__hole is hoping and praying Minor finally sues you so we can finally stop ourselves from reading your degenerate rag. Your like crack and you need to be flushed down the toilet so that a better, cleaner reformed Charlottesville can go on.
Just in time Betty. I was just beginning to scrounge around looking for the podcast for the Barefoot show.
One thing leads to another, ya know. It appears to me the whole of Downtown has been made to suffer in viewing an eyesore because of the "inventor".
Unsure all is safe with the structure, so if the wind blows I'm heading for cover. It appears he can't get it right and in many ways.
re: "why would a judge intervene between two parties of a lawsuit"
Kind of like wondering why an umpire would intervene in a force out at first.
Actually, it's nothing like that at all.
Dear Mr. Minor....(Danielson Is God comment)......you are loosing it. So far you have blamed everyone on the planet but yourself.....your technique is now transparent....you use people that are vulnerable and throw them "under the bus" to take the heat off of yourself.....the only empty building from the past partnership of Rolph/Danielson is the one you own....The Downtown Grill is doing fine, the movie theater provides lots of people with great entertainment and the development of the mall built off of those two being pioneers in the city.....I guess you learned nothing from the Federal Restraining Order placed on you for harrassing those involved with your "Merrill Lynch" lawsuit.....I was born and raised here...not a good idea to call most people in Cville "a..holes".
"...the development of the mall built off of those two being pioneers in the city..." Please explain what they were pioneers of.
I guess Cville Eye wasn't around when the "mall" was just a ghost town and no one had either the vision or the money or both until some major projects were done that revived the mall.....not too many people dispute that....no one else had the "cajones" to do it except Danielson 's vision. By the way Cville Eye, are you an a..hole like Minor says or one who wants to sue on a moments notice with nothing but air to support the claims? wow what a wonderful native son Minor has turned out to be....
"I guess Cville Eye wasn't around when the ââ?¬Å?mall" was just a ghost town..." You'd better bet I was. Downtowns all over the county were ghost towns at night, so why wouldn't Charlottesville;s. The stores closed every night but Friday somewhere between 5 and 6 PM. So why would anyone want to be downtown at night? Then, BEFORE the "pioneers," restaurants such as C&O and The Hardware Store Restaurant opened at night and more people came downtown.
"...until some major projects were done that revived the mall..." Revived from what? It was dead at night before the Mall was put in and was dead after. Just as dead as it pretty much is now at night except on Fridays. What major projects are you saying "revived" the mall? Before the skating rink, the party on the Corner stretched from the University down to the C&O through Maxx, Trax, Miller's and Court Square Tavern. It was called "The Crawl." TCan't say that now. If you want to see a glimpse of the bustling downtown before the Mall, take a gander a the photos in the back stairway of the downtown CVS.
"...not too many people dispute that..." Not too many current residents' memories go back twenty years. Also, I have found that the only people who are saying that downtown was a ghost town are those who have recently arrived and would like to take credit for some.
"By the way Cville Eye, are you an a..hole like Minor says or one who wants to sue on a moments notice with nothing but air to support the claims?" Maybe my initials are "H.M."
"Susan Smith" (if that is in fact your name) THIS is Halsey. I write under my own name. Always have and always will. Check the record. What have you ever tried to do for the city? Do you know what I do?
Its pathetic I so lower myself to even engage you but pardon my French, from what i can tell you do nothing for anyone but gripe about everyone and you're really just a real jerk or, in the new parlance for nasty people like you, an a_hole.
Stop acting holier than thou and go out and do something nice you can tell us all about.
What exactly is the issue in Minor not repaying Merrill????? Is it that John Thain is a "bad" guy? or is it that he borrowed money and sold the collateral and failed to pay back Merrill???? And I also wonder why would a Federal Judge issue a restraining order eight months after a couple of emails from Minor???? Seems like Minor may have done something in the intervening months to make the Judge take notice that this guy has "lost it". And wasn't Halsey a "buddy" of Thain in that they used the same decorator to the stars Michael Smith? Wonder if Smith got paid by either of them. There is some serious arrogance floating around those boys.

So, if you are an experienced beekeeper who likes to experiment and want to move ahead of the chemical control crowd with your honey bee management, this may be for you. Size 8 1/2 x 16 3/4 inches.

Chinese 19th Century Gouache on Pith Paper - At Sea
DescriptionChinese Original 19th Century Gouache. Laid on paper. Unsigned. Condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and losses to pith paper.
4.6 x 7cm (1.8" x 2.8")Sheet: 16 x 12.4cm (6.3" x 4.9")
Collection Information
This painting on pith forms part of a larger collection of gouches by presumably the same artist or set of artists dating from the 19th century. The collection is comprised of a wide range of traditional subjects including costume studies, festival scenes, fishing boats (or junk boats) at sea and depictions of torture. Fragile by nature, these paintings on pith paper have kept in remarkably good condition, maintaining their vibrancy by virtue of being stowed away in adequate conditions and out of direct light. Pith presumably came into use for painting to satisfy the increasing demand for small, inexpensive and easily transported souvenirs, following the massive growth in the China Trade in the first quarter of the nineteenth century. Paintings in oils, on board and canvas were costly and difficult to carry home. Earlier and more prestigious export water-colours had often been on a larger scale and painted on fine Chinese paper or on paper imported from Europe. They may have suited the sea-captains and informed the aristocracy but for the hoi polloy they were too expensive. The albums of pith paintings (and later the little glass-fronted boxes) were inexpensive, light, easy to pack and gave the pictures some protection on the long voyage home. Because many were sold in albums and hence protected from the light, they retain their bright colours to this day. Because of the nature of pith and its cellular structure, the gouache used by the Chinese sat on the surface and produced a bright and even sparkling effect. Very fine detail could be achieved but pith did not lend itself to the flat wash of colour favoured for European watercolours. Collection Code: 132A

Potential leads for the highly anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie adaptation have rotated like a game of musical chairs and now Mila Kunis has expressed interest in playing the erotic novel's heroine.
Kunis, who's been dubbed Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive, has long been linked to the role of innocent Anastasia Steele, who's involved in a kinky relationship with businessman Christian Grey.
For the first time, the 29-year-old admitted she could have a "good time" playing the part.
"There are times when you just want to do something fun and different, because you're going to have a good time doing it," the stunning actress told The Sun about playing the female lead from the E.L. James book series.
Meanwhile, two actors expressed interest in playing Christian Grey.
James Franco said he'd be up for it, under one condition, when he was asked at Sundance by The Sunday Times about the role: "It sounds interesting, I heard Gus [Van Sant] might direct it. If he directed it, I'd do it." Van Sant, who's behind films like "Milk" and "Good Will Hunting" is not currently attached to direct.
Likewise, Lindsay Lohan's porn star "The Canyons" costar James Deen said he'd be up for portraying the frisky tycoon.
"It seems like a character I could have a lot of fun with," Deen, who's apparently starred in 4000 skin flick titles, told Entertainment Weekly. "I've heard really mixed responses about it, like, 'Oh, it's a cheesy Twilight wannabe.'… [but] I think it could be fun. I feel like it could be a really cool, fun role to work on."
As previously reported, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie won't be toning down the book's explicit content.
"There is going to be a lot of sex in the film," said screenwriter Kelly Marcel in an interview with The Sunday Times in early January. "It will be rated NC-17. It's going to be raunch. We are 100% going there."
As for who will play any of the roles, Marcel remains tight-lipped.
"Ha-ha! No actor would sign up to a film without a script. That would be insane," she said.
Names like Matt Bomer, Henry Cavill, Ian Somerhalder and Ryan Gosling have been tossed around to play Christian. Emma Watson, Emma Stone and Keira Knightly have been suggested to play Anastasia.

Bluetooth Headset For iPhone
Jawbone Reintroduces a Discreet Bluetooth Headset
Unless you want to be the lucky recipient of one pricey ticket, the only option to tech while driving in many states is going hands-free, but the fashion of it — a Bluetooth headset — hasn't garnered the best reputation over the years . . . to put it nicely. Jawbone — a company that first made its name with sleek, Bluetooth-enabled earpieces that has since became more widely known for powerful speakers along with an addictive fitness tracker — has returned to its hands-free roots with a revamp of its popular Era headset, which is now so small you just might not mind having it attached to your ear 24/7.
The Era of yore was fancy with motion-sensing controls, but the 2014 Era puts novelty aside for a headset that is only two inches in length, 42 percent smaller than its 2011 predecessor. This model, Jawbone says, was specifically designed to work with mobile smart assistants like Siri and Google Now to allow you to keep your phone in your pocket even while searching for directions. Era employs its own assistant in the form of one of 10 voices (my favorite is Mobster) that whispers in your ear remaining battery life or which number is currently calling.
I have shied away from using Bluetooth headsets except for the occasional long drive, and despite its tiny stature (which was nearly unnoticeable when my hair was down), there's nothing Era can do to mitigate the weirdness of talking to "nothing" — no cords, microphone, or screen to prove to the people next to you that you're not just telling the sidewalk about a really great dinner. However, the audio quality on both ends of the conversation was better than that of my phone itself, so I would enthusiastically use it when driving and at home.
I was surprised to enjoy using the Era as an alternative to over-the-ear headphones, streaming in good-sounding audio from my computer while making myself available to conversations around me. Using the headset as headphones did wear significantly on the battery life (it has a four-hour battery life or 10 when connected to its charging case), but it was so convenient to have both my computer and phone paired to the device and have Era know to mute music for an incoming call.
The headset solo is $100 or $130 when paired with the charging case. Available in black, silver, bronze, and red, Era also comes with extra earbuds to fit various ear sizes or use the headset on the left ear.
Now tell us below, is the newer, smaller, lighter Jawbone Era enough to make you switch to the
dark Bluetooth side?

CFA with repeated measures
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
yao lu
posted on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 9:24 am
Hi, I have a question regarded using CFA on repeated measures within the same group. I have a causal model described as:
F1 by x1, x2, x3
F2 by x4, x5, x6
F3 by x7, x8, x9
F4 by y1, y2, y3
F5 by y4, y4, y5
F6 by y6, y7, y8
F4 on F1
F5 on F2
F6 on F3
F1 and F4 are based on the repeated measures (e.g., x1 asks about the quality of product A, and x4 asks about the quality of product B). Similarly, F5 and F2, and F6 and F3 use repeated measures.
My question is that can I still conduct a CFA? My concern is that given repeated measures, the residual of each factor indicator needs to be correlated with that of the correspondent repeated indicator. For example, there are 9 residual correlations of factor indicators in this case. Would this cause too many complications in running and evaluating the model?
I am still at the study design stage, so do not have the actual date to run the test myself. I would highly appreciate your insight, and make appropriate changes to my study if necessary.

You can do a longitudinal factor analysis as you show. Because the analysis is multivariate, it takes care of any non-independence of observations due to the repeated measures.

Hi Dr.Muthen,
Thanks for your reply. Following up my last post, the study also needs to consider two continuous moderator: F7 and F8. F8 and F7 will moderate each of the three direct effects.
I will conduct structural regression for testing the model, three direct effects with three moderating effects.
My question is for the first step of testing measurement model, should the measurement model include F1-F6, or include F1-F8? I am confused as I saw both examples in existing studies.
Thank you for your help in advance.

This post is to complete my last post. Sorry I did not make it clear earlier.
For testing the moderating effect, I will run a simultaneous SEM on two groups. The SEM will use the interaction term , and compare the path coefficients of each interaction term.
e.g., for the moderating effect of F1 on the relationship between F2 and F1:
Define M1=F7*F1;
F2 on M1

You should not use Define to create interactions involving latent variables, but instead use XWITH in the Model command. See UG ex 5.13.

Hi Bengt,
Thank you for the correction.
Can you please also comment on my earlier question regarding what to include in the measurement model? (posted at 2:45pm)
Thank you in advance.
